David Bowie’s son to direct $100m World of Warcraft movie

January 31, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood 3 Comments

Duncan Jones will make a $100m plus World of Warcraft movie for Blizzard. Jones’ first movie, Moon, cost $5m and was very good. His second was Source Code, which featured Jack Gyllenhaal and cost $32, which met with mixed reactions. Warcraft’s 10 million subscribers mean Jones’ budget is about $10 per player. The Warcraft Facebook […]

Sneaky snow dragon

January 30, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

I think it’s the chain that adds that extra special touch to this snow dragon. He’s not sneaking through the snow, he’s waiting outside the house like a dog chained to the yard.

Alternative Harry Potter universes were the characters are adult age and far less innocent are easy to find out here in the internet. Inspired by a sketch by the Russian artist Daniel A.

Your very own Timelord calendar and star chart

January 29, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This rather wonderful poster is a Gallifreyan Perpetual Calendar and Galactic Star Chart. It lets Timelords or their companions discover the day of the week for any given day between the years 1600 and 9999 AD. That’s a pretty wide scope. As a bonus, any Timelord might be pleased to know that they star chart […]

The Goblinzin

January 29, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

This rather confident looking goblin is the creation of Arthur Mask. The piece is called Goblinzin which I think is a good name for an entire pesky race.

Dead Space 3 trailer

January 28, 2013 by Andrew Girdwood Leave a Comment

What did you think when you heard Dead Space 3 wouldn’t be entirely set in space? Dead Snow 1? Hmm. Opinions differed. Visceral seem to have kept it real, though, judging from this trailer. The artic wastelands look just as hopeless as deep space. The game is due out in February; the US first and […]
